Kevan couldn't figure out what had angered Larissa. After he replied to her, she didn't respond to him anymore.On the other hand, Wendy was exceptionally polite to him. She even brought out her best vodka as a "thank you" gesture.They sat on the couch, sipping vodka and chatting, while Aster nestled in Kevan's arms, quietly playing with his toys.Wendy shifted the topic to Aster, saying, "He really likes you."Kevan smiled softly as he gently patted Aster's head. "I know.""What's your plan? About your future with Larissa, I mean," she asked directly, her eyes locked onto his.Kevan, for a rare moment, avoided her gaze, his fingers unconsciously tracing the rim of the vodka glass. What did he think? Of course, he would love to have a future with Larissa. But the crucial question was, what did Larissa think?He had hurt Larissa deeply in the past. Although she hadn't shown any aversion to him now, he still feared that she would push him away once more if he proposed getting bac

"I'm sorry. I had an accident a few years ago, and I don't remember anything from the past," Kevan apologized with a smile, using "amnesia" as an excuse for his lack of recollection."Oh, right ..." Only then did Wendy recall that Larissa had mentioned this before. She felt a bit annoyed with herself—had she been talking to a brick wall earlier?Kevan continued to play his part, acting as if he truly had amnesia. "Did I know Larissa before? No one has ever told me about it. Can you give me more details about what you said earlier?""Forget it." Wendy wasn't sure how to explain their complicated history in such a short time. "Since you don't remember, let's just start fresh, shall we? Do you like Larissa?" she asked him earnestly.Though he couldn't find the right words to express himself to Larissa, with Wendy, he responded smoothly, "Yes, I do," even though he blushed with shyness."Do you want to be with her?""Yes.""Do you promise to treat Aster as your own and take good car

In the early morning, Kevan headed to the hospital. He was carrying the breakfast he had packed from the hotel. To his surprise, he found the room empty. He quickly stopped a passing nurse and pointed to the vacant ward. He asked, "Where did the patient go?"The nurses at this hospital were all experienced. Therefore, they were all older. However, when the nurse—a middle-aged local with extensive experience—saw Kevan's face, she still showed visible admiration. "Wow, you speak the Aldovian language well. Your accent is quite charming as well," she complimented instinctively.Although Kevan hadn't studied abroad, his grandfather had the foresight to hire an Aldovian tutor for him when he was young. This was to prepare him for expanding the company's business overseas. The tutor was a native Aldovian speaker. He had a beautiful and sexy Aldovian accent. Kevan had learned his intonation perfectly.Kevan had received numerous compliments on his accent from foreign business partners.

Larissa sat on the bed. Gary smoothly poured a cup of hot tea for her. Lewis went to the restroom and returned with a towel to wipe the sweat off her face.Kevan stood awkwardly on the side, unable to find a way to join in.Her attention had been on him all along. Sensing his discomfort, she quickly changed the topic, asking, "Why are you here so early?"He shook the breakfast container in his hand, his tone carrying a hint of bitterness. "I thought you were still asleep, so I brought you breakfast.""Oh ..." She inexplicably felt a bit apologetic. "I wake up at 7 am every day. Then, I have breakfast and do the rehabilitation." She had been a model patient at the hospital, sticking to a routine of early to bed and early to rise, actively cooperating with treatment, and showing remarkable progress in recovery. The doctors often use her as an example to motivate other patients."It's fine," Kevan replied indifferently. He raised his arm, about to toss the breakfast container into

Since Gary still had a meeting, he left with Lewis. He was unhappy after getting lectured by Larissa. Kevan stayed behind to keep Larissa company. To cheer her up, he brought her downstairs in a wheelchair to bask in the sun. The small park at the hospital was one of the few peaceful places in Westonia. There weren't many tall buildings around to block out the sun. So, the warm sunrays shone down on the people in the park. It bathed them in a dazzling golden glow. Before they went out, Kevan wrapped Larissa in a thick down coat and covered her legs with a thick blanket. Still, Larissa found herself feeling hot after a couple of minutes. She unzipped the coat. Kevan frowned in disapproval. He went around the wheelchair. He knelt in front of her, zipping the coat back up to her chin. His fingers were long and slender. In contrast to the red coat, his skin looked even paler than usual. It made the bluish veins underneath more apparent. Larissa couldn't help but stare at Kevan.

"I heard about our past from Dylan." In the end, Kevan still couldn't be honest with her. Using Dylan as an excuse, he tried to bring up their history together. Alas, this news shocked Larissa.The expression on her face froze. Her body stiffened when she heard Kevan's words. To Larissa, Kevan, who had lost his memories, might appear to be the same person as Kevan from before. Alas, he was still quite different. He didn't have the unpleasant memories of their past together, nor was he as sarcastic and harsh as before. Their improved relationship right now was based on the foundation that she didn't feel embarrassed about herself in front of him anymore. Things would be different if he regained his previous memories. She could forgive Kevan in his current state. Alas, she couldn't let go of the pain that he had caused her in the past. As her guard went up, Kevan could see the change in her eyes which had turned cold with suspicion. His heart ached. It was as if it was p

They returned to the hospital ward. The vibe between them was very different from before. Kevan had regained some of his past memories. So, Larissa didn't know how to act around him. He was eager to talk about their past. Yet she couldn't muster up the courage to do so. That was the topic she wanted to avoid the most. Covering her mouth, Larissa pretended to yawn. "I'm feeling a bit tired. You can go about your business while I take a nap." She got into bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. Kevan knew that it was an excuse. So, he didn't want to trouble her further. He went along with her and replied, "Alright, get a good rest." Kevan came to Westonia for two purposes. First to visit Larissa and second to discuss how to deal with Cody with Gary. The latter issue was completely resolved the day before. Thus, the reason he stayed back was to spend more time with Larissa, hoping that it would alleviate his feelings of loneliness while they were apart. Still, it seemed as

The security guards told Dylan that the couple came to look for their daughter-in-law. They mentioned that her name was Larissa Seymour. However, the apartment complex had tight security measures. Even if Larissa's name was on the resident's list, the security guards couldn't let them in. The guard had informed them that they had to either wait for their daughter-in-law to come and pick them up or have her call the security office. After receiving her call, only then could they enter the apartment complex. Travis' parents refused both options. They insisted on kicking up a fuss at the entrance of the apartment complex. In the end, the security guards had to call the police to take them away. Hearing this, Kevan furrowed his brows. After the Hardy family took the one million dollars from Yvette, they returned to their hometown. No one had heard anything from them since. Kevan didn't bother wasting his time to follow up on them as they didn't stir up any trouble. Who could
